NEW YORK CITY, YOU LISTEN TO ME.
IF YOUR NEAR A CONVENIENCE STORE RIGHT NOW, ANY KIND OF 24 HOUR STORE, GO INTO THE STORE RIGHT NOW, AND PUT YOUR HAND IN THE CASH REGISTER FOR NO REASON. THEIR MONEY IS YOUR MONEY, AS OF RIGHT NOW. (part 2)
Amari Marshall on the difference between some of the greatest artists working today and everyone else:
“One thing I just learned from all like Pharrell, Rihanna, Bey, Lady Gaga, Missy, Janet, they are invested in the whole entire thing. Like they really do know what it takes to build this thing inside and out. And you don't see that a lot. Like a lot of artists now, they are amazing, get a creative director or a team and just let them have free range and that's it. But they're, and that's great. And it's amazing. But it is amazing, even more amazing when the artist is just as invested. It sounds like it's so much about like what you do when nobody is looking, what you do when the deadline is not tomorrow, when you have some time, like in your private space when nobody's watching. It's easier to be disciplined when everybody is on your ass. Are you disciplined by yourself? Are you going to wake up and go to the gym? And I tell a lot of dancers, I'm like, ‘y'all have the talent, but do you have all the correct skills to hop on stage and go on tour for seven months to two years right now?’ And no, not yet. Not yet. There's a lot more things that you need to be maturing at and paying more attention to before you can really hop into that. Yeah, it's not. You don't just roll out of bed and onto stage with Missy Elliott. There's quite a few steps in between, baby. Especially Missy!”

Rhetoric is easy. Governing is harder. Glad to see @NYCMayor Mamdani move away from the “leading the resistance” talk and follow in my footsteps by working with President @realDonaldTrump for the good of New York City.
@FINALLEVEL If you can’t differentiate between a digital tool that requires manual input and machine learning idk what to tell you. Just cuz they are both technology doesn’t make them the same.
